4- and 5-substituted benzothiophenes were synthesized as starting scaffold in the construction of benzothieno[b] pyridines. Such structures were designed as potential new inhibitors of BACE 1. Preliminary promising biological data were reported. These molecules represent a starting point for improved chemicals in Alzheimer’s disease treatment. Obtained preliminary results encourage research advance and further developments.
